  4. Kerala
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Punjab is one of the most fertile regions in India. The region is ideal for wheat-growing. Rice, sugar cane, fruits and vegetables are also grown. Indian Punjab is called the “Granary of India” or “India’s bread-basket”. Wheat is among the largest crops cultivated in Punjab and it contributes a larger amount to its economy. The state produces 10.26% of the country’s cotton, 11% of rice and 19.5% of India’s overall wheat. With this, the state has become one of the largest producers of Wheat and Rice.
Though the literacy rate of the state is 76.68%, but still unemployment exists to a larger extent. This might be due to the reason that any Multinational Company or an individual do not want to invest in the state. No major industries are found in the regions of Punjab and people are left with no choice, but to move abroad.”
